Established more than 30 years ago, the Center for Demography and Ecology is dedicated to the study of population issues, both domestic and international. Many of the members of the Center's Faculty Steering Committee are among the leading scholars in their fields.
Faculty affiliated with the Center come from the Departments of Sociology, Economics, Rural Sociology, History, Preventive Medicine, and Family Resources and Consumer Sciences. Many are also affiliated with other research centers such as the Institute for Research on Poverty, the Institute on Aging, the LaFollette Institute of Public Affairs, the Afro-American Studies Department, the Chicano Studies Department, the Department of Biostatistics, and the American Indian Studies Program.
The Center is funded by the University of Wisconsin and by several special research and training grants. A "Population Research Core Grant" from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) supports general Center operations. In addition, the Center for Demography of Health and Aging has been established which will both share and build on the substantial research infrastructure of the Center for Demography and Ecology. Grants (from the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development, National Institute on Aging, and the National Science Foundation) provide funds to support the Center's graduate studies training mission. Finally, affiliate faculty have many research grants from government agencies and foundations.
